First ever go in the #RSGB #SS #Field day contest. Was good fun apart from the lashing rain.

Just to say what a great employee Amy at WHSmith #Hereford is for you. Very friendly and helpful beyond the call of duty & was even enthusiastic that I was on the cover of the magazine I was buying. Treat her well WHSmith

Happy with this result in the #ARRL #HF World #Championship. 6 band contest (no single band sections). Last year I was 2nd in England with one band. More QSOs than the winner but mults are king. 3 bands this year so did much better. I was highest place 3 band entry in the world.

Designed and made a system for rapid deployment and packing away of those bloody annoying wire radials for portable HF vertical antennas. g1ybb.uk/the-ybb-wire-w…

New 3D printer is literally game changing. Exactly FOUR times as fast printing which on this project which has 2 sets of 4 parts means I can do something in the morning (fucking painting) and come back and print a set of 8 in the afternoon before tea!

been working on some improvements to my mini lathe I use to make antenna bits. g1ybb.uk/mini-lathe-cro…

more behind the scenes work so I can make antenna parts easier! g1ybb.uk/arbor-press-be…

REALLY happy to get a great result in #CQ #WPX #RTTY 2025. I'm new to RTTY contesting and found setting it up a NIGHTMARE but glad I didn't give up now!

I made a thing. Just some fun but it what I always say to other portable contesters when we chat before a contest! youtube.com/watch?v=hH9bJ_…

First go in ARRL RTTY RU. New DX record. Only on 20/15/10m need the lower bands to beat them Ws!!

Quite pleased the amount of force I had to use to break this! Full story: g1ybb.uk/are-3d-printed…

for JA hams: I rx some emails from a ham in JA. First few emails were "Dear Steve" and signed "73 Hisami" Last email started "Dear Steve-san". Is the correct reply for me to start "Dear Hisami-san"? I don't want to be rude...

the postie just brought me a nice present for #CQWPX #RTTY #Contest this year.

Postie brought me another pressie from the #ARRL #RTTY #RoundUP 2025

If you send me this crap you will be blocked.

Made a new deluxe version for portable contesting cable entry into my car. g1ybb.uk/improved-car-p…

2025 certificates coming soon for the #PW #144MHz #QRP #Contest. For those wondering why mine aren't under Hereford ARS, the very 1st one I did in 1990 Kevin G1VDF & myself called ourselves Hereford VHF Contest Group and I like continuity.

I posted a video of a dust cover I made for a project and within minutes I was asked if I could do one for the microphone connector for Icom radios etc, so I quickly made one and test fitted to my radio to show him. g1ybb.uk/icom-radio-mic…
